Index Number: 10882 Actually, your uidea about robots accting as helpers may not be that far- fetched. About a year ago a friend showed me an article which described a robot guide. There weren't many details given but the article predicted that it would be a couple of years before the unit was ready to go into production. One of the problems is that it's still too large to be practical. I can't imagine stuffing one into the front seat of a sub- compact car for instance. I don't know if this thing will ever make it though. I can't imagine anything like that being better than my guide dog. marda -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!393!9!Marda.Anderson Internet: Marda.Anderson@f9.n393.z1.fidonet.org
